The Pends
拱道

At the east end of South Street there is a pair of fourteenth-century arches known as "the Pends". These were part of a gateway to the walled enclosure surrounding St Andrews Cathedral. During the Middle Ages many cathedrals and monasteries had impressive gatehouses controlling access to and from the religious community. The Pends were originally covered by stone vaults (the supports for which can still be seen). The gatehouse is thought to have also had an upper storey with accommodation for a porter. Following the Reformation a pension was paid to the porter's widow.

在南街东边的尽头有一对建于十四世纪的拱门被称为“拱道”。通过它们能到达被围墙环绕的圣安德鲁斯大教堂。在中世纪，许多教堂和修道院都有令人印象深刻的城楼，它们控制着通往宗教场所的通道。拱道最初是被石头拱顶覆盖的(仍然可以看到支撑结构)。城楼被认为拥有第二层， 为看门人提供了住宿场所。随着宗教改革，那些成了寡妇的看门人妻子获得了抚恤金。
